Pass By: Gray Line, Montreal, Quebec H3B 2T9 Canada

Meet your guide inside the Tourist Information Center for your afternoon tour of Montreal’s RESO, the world’s longest underground tunnel network, a multilevel maze of 21 miles (33 km) of walkways, passages and shopping malls. 

Start off with an above-ground stroll, hitting some of the major sites in Montreal: the bustling Rue Sainte-Catherine, which runs parallel to the largest segment of the underground city; the neo-Gothic Christ Church Cathedral; Les Cours Mont-Royal, an elegant above-ground shopping mall; and Dorchester Square, the leafy late 19th-century plaza. 

And then it’s time to descend into RESO. The Underground City began in 1962 under Place Ville-Marie and has been developing extensions ever since. The 1.5-hour tour covers a carefully selected portion of RESO (from réseau, French for ‘network’) to show you the highlights of this vast underworld. Learn the history of this engineering marvel from your expert local guide and walk the multi-level passageways learning about the best restaurants, bars and shops beneath Montreal.

Below expectations. Spent most of the tour above ground. Tour guide soft spoken and not very knowledgeable. Boring tour.

The tour started late because of the guide (15' late while tour is supposed to be like an hour long or so). The guide didn't really answer to questions and take care of some american tourists of the group in a self-serving way ? Must see because the underground network is famous but the tour is really not ! Disappointing.

This is a walking tour of malls. We were expecting more interesting sights and insights into the history of the city and its people. We didn't a tour guide to shoe us basis malls, though they are underground.

The tour guide was very good. It was really interesting to tour Montreal in this way. I couldn't believe, when we arrived on the train that we were in the Underground. I didn't know this until we took the tour that day. I rate this 5 stars.
